Tink, I believe it means exactly as you speculated. This is how some would attempt to manipulate the price. They show big numbers of shares available just above the market. People considering selling figure they better get out now in case this seller drops his price and it pressures the price down. The person showing the shares to sell, never has to sell, but hopes to pick up shares cheaper. It's an old trick.
